The poster has since been defended by former Church of Scotland minister Ewan Aitken, who told Evening News that the murals have always "pushed the boundaries".
“Whether or not you agree with the composition of the murals subjects, there are questions to be asked about a political party whose policies predicate change rather than celebrating differences," he said.
“I think the church needs to be speaking outside its walls and challenging people in unexpected ways, on unexpected subjects."

Quote:

The decision to show this mural was taken in November following a conversation with the church. Michael then researched images and created a small drawing which was then scaled up for the mural.

The mural is scheduled to remain on the prominent Princes Street spot for two weeks unless, as Michael says, the “church bows to pressure and gets it painted over quicker”.
